About Me

Hi, I’m Gautam.

By day, I build blockchains and lead engineering efforts. By night, I sometimes tell jokes.

I’m an engineering leader, author, and public speaker, with a long-standing focus on building systems that scale in real-world, high-stakes environments. Outside of work, I’m a hobbyist DJ, traveler, and big-time coffee enthusiast. Lately, I’ve also been stepping onto the stage for stand-up comedy.

Originally from India, I’m currently based in Berlin, Germany. I’m the Founder of BlockDeep Labs, where we design, build, and advise on production-grade blockchain and decentralized systems. My work spans architecture, team leadership, and end-to-end delivery, with a focus on reliability, scalability, and user experience.

I write on my blog about Blockchains, Distributed Systems, Internet of Things, Cloud, and Product Management. Writing helps me clarify complex ideas and share practical lessons from building and leading engineering teams.

I also host a podcast, BlockShots - Blockchain Simplified!, where I break down blockchain concepts into five-minute, easy-to-follow episodes for builders and decision-makers.

I’ve co-authored a book on blockchain fundamentals called Beginning Blockchain.
